FUT5 Human

FUT-5

The FUT5 Human is created as a recombinant protein with a 4kda N-terminal fusion of His Tag. The FUT5 His-Tagged Fusion Protein produced in E. coli, is a 30kDa protein containing 172 amino acid residues of the FUT5 Human, 203-374 amino acids.

Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Each mg was lyophilized with 1xPBS, 0.4% SDS and 4mM DTT.

It is recommended to add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it on cell culture.

Store lyophilized FUT5 at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C.

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

SDS

Fucosyltransferase 5 also known as FUT5 is a glycosyltransferase which takes part in the biosynthesis of glycolipids and glycoproteins. FUT5 mainly catalyzes the transfer of fucose (a monosaccharide) to the type 2 chain of oligosaccharides (Galβ1-4GlcNAc). FUT5 takes an important part in various biological processes which include regulation of inflammation, cell-cell interactions and immune response modulation. FUT5 is expressed mainly in tissues such as the pancreas, liver and various immune cells.
